    2x-10=2. (Answer=6)

    2x=12 (you move the - 10 to the other side of the equation to make it positive)

    Then you divide by 2

    2x divided by 2 equals x 12 divided by 2 is 6

    So your number is 6. x=6

    And you can check this by redoing the equation but putting 6 instead of x

    2 (6) - 10=2

    12-10=2

    2=2

    This equation is true therefore, your unknown number is 6
